WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Linfield women's basketball's (15-2, 8-0 NWC) historic, record-breaking, season continues to reach new heights. The 'Cats have now entered uncharted territory with their best start in program history and remain at the top of the Northwest Conference standings, two-games up on the Puget Sound Loggers. Having won 11-straight contests, the 'Cats are primarily led by senior guard Eve Burke, who averaged 14.5 points per-game and 8.5 rebounds per-game last weekend. Although, production comes from up and down the bench, where any of the Wildcats could lead the team on any given night, proving Linfield's depth is the best in the Northwest.

Tuesday, January 27 | 5:30 p.m. |  Ted Wilson Gymnasium

MEN'S BASKETBALL
Linfield men's basketball (7-9, 5-3 NWC) has earned the nickname "Cardiac 'Cats" as they've now won each of their five Northwest Conference games by six points or less, thanking to three last-second wins. Junior forward Garrett Callsen provided his second game-winner of the season on Saturday, sinking a pair of free throws to put Linfield ahead of Lewis & Clark, 72-71, on the road. Riding a two-game winning streak, the 'Cats moved into a tie for third in the NWC standings, looking to avenge a 75-50 loss to Pacific back in December.
